    Sky Sports Box Office served up a treat with the Froch vs Kessler fight... it was better than the first one in my opinion. <ok>
    I still don't know how those two warriors managed to stay on their feet during 12 brutal rounds of boxing!

    George Groves has surprised me with how much he has improved since squeaking the win over James DeGale - he looks to have the lot to me.
    It won't be long until he's knocking on the world title door...

    Tony Bellew needs to forget this latest fight - it was a prize stinker! I realise Chilemba is a spoiler, but Tony seemed clueless about solving the problems facing him... odd really, as he had already done 12 rounds with the bloke just 8 weeks ago... <doh>

    I think Bellew has just about hit his ceiling - I don't like him and I really don't know why!

    Carl Froch has gone looking for a Wembley showdown with Andre Ward <doh>

    Don't do it Carl!

    Even at home, there is no way Froch is good enough to beat Ward.

    I think Carl should fight Bernard Hopkins and then retire with his belts. <ok>

    Groves looks a bit broader these days.

    He's engineering a space for himself to challenge Froch in 12 months or so. He'd lose right now, bu in another year, who knows.

    He does indeed, but I think there is a great deal more to like about his boxing too.

    Looking really sharp in his last fight, I think there is more to come as well - he's 26, the same age as Nathan Cleverly, so there's not alot to stop him challenging for world titles within the year. <ok>

    True, although Groves is in a loaded division which makes life really difficult for him.

    It is indeed a difficult division... that said, I think Groves would rip Hopkins to shreds right now! <monster>

    I also think he could beat Stieglitz <ok>

    You are very high on him...

    I really rate him too but I just don't know for sure yet. Everything points towards him being capable of putting on a show at that level.

    Not so much high, just very excited at his potential... I really wasn't convinced just after the DeGale fight, but he looks ready to step up now.

    He does have some pretty awful tattoo's though! <whistle>
